Just 1 week away from racing at "The Action Track"!

MSCS TO RACE AT THE LEGENDARY ACTION TRACK THIS SUNDAY IT’S A “SPRING FLING” FOR SPRINT CARS & UMP MODIFIEDS Haubstadt, IN - April 24, 2017. The Hoosier Tire Midwest Sprint Car Series drivers will return to action after a weekend off by racing at the Terre Haute Action Track on Sunday, April 30th. This event, which is once again billed as the “Spring Fling,” will be the only appearance for the series at a half mile track this season. The historic facility which is located at the Wabash Valley Fairgrounds will also be hosting the Midwest Old Timers Race Cars as well as presenting a full program of Scott's Custom Colors UMP Open Wheel Modifieds. The entire program that evening is designed to appeal to open wheel race fans! The “Spring Fling” at Terre Haute will pay the MSCS sprint cars $3,000 to win and $300 to start. Those amounts are above the standard pay-off for the series and for the Fling event in the past. The Sunday date along with the added purse money should attract the very best 410 non-wing sprint drivers. The top five drivers in the current MSCS points standings are led by Jarett Andretti of Indianapolis, IN. He is just two points ahead of three time MSCS Champion Brady Short and Illinois speedster Carson Short. The two drivers have both collected 123 points in the first two races this season. A couple of young hard chargers complete the top five. Max McGhee is fourth and Dakota Jackson ranks fifth. Four time MSCS Champion Kyle Cummins is sixth in the points. Brandon Morin, Donny Brackett, Tyler Rust, and Brandon Mattox finish out the list for the top ten. Tyler Rust currently leads the MSCS Rookie of the Year points. Eleventh and twelfth positions are held by Brent Beauchamp and Jon Stanbrough. Twenty nine of the 36 MSCS licensed drivers have already been in action this season. Brady Short won the last “Spring Fling” to be held at the Terre Haute Action Track which was in 2015. The two attempts to hold this event in 2016 were both cancelled because of rainfall. Jerry Coons Jr.(2nd) and Carson Short (3rd) shared the THAT podium with Brady Short in 2015. Thomas Meseraull and Chris Windom have won the features at the other two MSCS events completed earlier this season. As the series changes locations to race, different drivers join the regulars to compete for the prize money. It is still very early in the 2017 season and several drivers can be expected to make their first appearance with MSCS for the season. The legendary track beckons! Some will take the opportunity to race there an additional time and others have been waiting for that very first opportunity to run at the Action Track! The pit gate will open at 3 o’clock. The grand stands will open an hour later at 4 o’clock. Hot laps and group qualifying will get underway at about 5:00 P.M. Sunday. The drivers in each heat race group will qualify together. Then officials will then invert the fastest qualifiers to create the heat race lineups. The race will then be on as usual! Drivers will be battling for a high enough finish to transfer to the feature. THAT racing is set to begin at 6:30 P.M. Eastern Time.

Terre Haute Action Track Cancels Spring Fling Event (Terre Haute, IN) Officials from the MSCS Sprint Cars and Track Enterprises, the promotion company of the Terre Haute Action Track, have announced that the 2017 Spring Fling scheduled for Sunday, April 30 has been canceled due to a weekend filled with rain. The Scott's Custom Colors Modifieds and the Midwest Oldtimers Vintage Racing Club were also on the schedule. The event will not be rescheduled. The event was set to be the second of the 2017 season, after the season opening USAC Silver Crown race in early April. This is the second year in-a-row that the event has been washed out. Last year, the event was rescheduled for August, but was again rained out. Up next on the Terre Haute Action Track schedule is the Tony Hulman Classic for the USAC National Sprint cars on Wednesday, May 24. The event is the first of three for the Track Enterprises promotion, "USAC's The Week Of Indy". The Hulman Classic will also feature the Scott's Custom Colors UMP Modifieds. Fans and drivers then head to the Indiana State Fairgrounds for the Hoosier Hundred on Thursday, May 25 and then to Lucas Oil Raceway in Indianapolis on Friday, May 26 for the Carb Night Classic. While those attending the Tony Hulman Classic will be able to purchase tickets at the gate on raceday, a presale "Week Of Indy" Superticket is available for a discount if going to all three events. The three day ticket is available for $60, a 25% savings. The three day superticket is available at https://usacracing.ticketspice.com/2017-week-of-indy.
